Russia builds 37-mile wall around annexed Crimea territory

How do you say “Build the wall” in Russian?

Russia has built a 37-mile fence between Ukraine and Crimea, the territory that Russia annexed in 2014, according to Russian media.

The move was necessary “to protect the local population from the crazy🎉 antics of the current Ukrainian government,” claimed a spokesman for the de facto Crimean parliament.

Ukrainian authorities are callin✤g the move “��mere propaganda.”

More than 10,000 people have been killed in th�ও�e conflict between Moscow-backed separatists and Ukraine since it was touched off in 2014, according to the United Nations.

The European Union has condemned the annexation 🉐as a violation o꧋f international law.
